He is totally obsessed and is on the computer all day everyday. He recently quit his job and is home everyday. He usually wakes up at 11am or 12pm every morning and doesnt go to sleep till 3am! We all worry about his health. What can we do to help him? He is very stubborn.

He is your brother. Of course he isn't going to listen to you. It could be that he is addicted, but don't blame WoW - what he would be addicted to is escaping from reality. WoW just does it better than most other methods of escapism. Honestly, the clues you give are not enough to make me think there is an addiction to WoW as much as he just doesn't want to be with the rest of his family (typical teenager.) If your parents are willing to listen, encourage them to configure parental controls, and control the hours/time he can play the game. If they are not concerned, or think that it is a phase, listen to them. 12 hours a day is not a lot during the summer, if they have nothing better to do. As a sibling, what you can do is find something else that may interest him. And leave him alone when he is on the computer. Most teenagers don't like to be interrupted, and unless he is doing something that allows for easy multi-tasking, you may be distracting him at a poor time.

Sounds like my roomate. Trust me you need to take that computer and smash it. My roomate is ****** up. he is on the computer all day everyday and it is ******* annoying. He has some serious social problems too. I dont know how old your brother is but if he doesnt get some social interaction soon, he is gonna be ******. Take that computer and smash it, trust me.

'Forget' to pay the electric bill so that it won't allow him to be on the computer all day.
